New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 431 
localities in Western New York, it appears to be worthy of further 
testing before being discarded. 
Cumberland.—(Ellwanger & Barry, Rochester, N. Y.) Origi- 
nated a number of years ago by David Miller, Harrisburg, Pa. 
Origin doubtful but supposed to be a seedling of Gregg. Plants 
vigorous, only a moderate amount of winter injury during the 
past four years, usually productive. Fruit medium to large, attrac- 
tive black color, juicy, rather sweet when fully ripe, firm, good to 
very good in flavor and quality. One of the most desirable kinds 
for commercial purposes. 
Eureka.—(W. N. Scarff, New Carlyle, O.) Said to have been 
found growing wild on the farm of Jacob Smith, Miami Co., Ohio. 
Plants moderately vigorous, winter injury varied from 15 to 25 
per ct. during the past three years, usually productive. Fruit me- 
dium to very large, attractive black color, grains medium size, firm, 
sweet, mild, fair to good in flavor and quality. This is a standard 
variety in many localities, and is one of the early fruiting desirable 
kinds for commercial purposes. 
Gregg.— An old variety received from various sources for test- 
ing at this Station. Found growing wild on the Gregg farm, Ohio 
Co., Ind., in 1866. Plants vigorous, moderately hardy, moderately 
productive to productive. Fruit above medium to very large, attract- 
ive black color, firm, rather sweet when fully ripe, good to very good 
in flavor and quality. An old standard sort valuable on account 
of its size and quality, although not as productive as some other 
varieties. 
Hallock No. 1.—(N. Hallock, Queens, N. Y.) Received for test- 
ing in 1898. Plants rather weak growers, canes slender, moderate 
amount of winter injury. Fruit medium or below, moderately firm, 
slightly acid, fair quality. Not equal to standard kinds. 
Hilborn.—(F. R. Palmer & Son, Mansfield, O.) A chance 
seedling originating on the grounds of W. W. Hilborn over twenty- 
five years ago. Plants vigorous to very vigorous, healthy, nearly 
hardy, productive. Fruit medium to large, firm, sweet, good to 
very good in flavor and quality. Has many qualities that commend 
it for commercial planting. 
Hopkins.—(A. M. Purdy, Palmyra, N. Y.) A seedling found 
near Kansas City, Mo., in 1872 and introduced by Frank Holsinger,
